In 2022 Arts Council Nelson and Kiln Studio had a wild idea to throw together a pottery festival with ceramists from all over the country coming together to learn, teach, build new connections and have a jolly great time!

A roaring success, we are thrilled to be presenting Nelson Clay Week 2024, which will be bigger, better and muddier!
